I have rushed through life

15Dec06

” I have understood nothing.Neither about life.Nor myself….Nothing,except perhaps one single thing.That I have rushed through life.That I have glanced neither to right nor left….My attention was always concentrated upon the moment.As if I had been hurrying somewhere.As if I had been anxious not to be late.As if my aim had been to arrive there.As if I had immediately wanted to rush on again further.Fleetingly,as from a train window,I see the images of my childhood,my youthful adventures and the events of my adult life….And suddenly I am struck by the dreadful realization.Everything has slipped through my fingers.I did not know how to grasp hold and cling on.”

-S.M. Eisenstein
